Queers in the Kingdom exposes evangelical Christian culture in the US as the underlying force that legalizes Bible-based homophobia. Nowhere is this more evident than in the 200+ well-established Christian Colleges where LGBT students must remain closeted and celibate or risk being expelled and condemned as sinners.
LGBT survivors of Wheaton College, IL reunite on campus as a protest to the discrimination they faced as students and now as alumni. There are (and always have been) Queers in the Kingdom and they are letting their lights shine!
Writer & Director: Markie Hancock

She has been making documentaries for 20 years ranging from issues of race and education to LGBT rights and advocacy for animal rights.

At long last a film that responsibly calls evangelical Christian institutions to account for their misguided and damaging practices of homophobia. Carefully documented and movingly presented, Queers in the Kingdom should be required viewing for anyone interested in religion and its wider effects on society.
